Infineon introduces the XMC7000 series microcontroller for industrial applications

Infineon Technologies has introduced the XMC7000 Series microcontroller (MCU) for industrial drive, electric vehicle (EV) charging, electric two-wheelers, robotics and other advanced industrial applications. The XMC7000 family of microcontrollers includes single-core and dual-core products based on 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M7 processors with a primary frequency of up to 350-MHz, and 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M0+ processors with a primary frequency of 100-MHz. Embedded flash memory with capacity up to 8MB and static on-chip random access memory (SRAM) with capacity of 1MB are also available. The series of microcontrollers operates at a voltage range of 2.7 to 5.5 V and supports temperatures ranging from -40°C to 125°C.

Steve Tateosian, vice president of iot, Computing and Wireless at Infineon Technologies, said: "Today, modern industrial equipment requires higher computing performance and richer peripherals while maintaining product quality and robustness. Infineon's system understanding and technical expertise in industrial-scale applications have led to the introduction of the new XMC7000 series microcontroller, which is designed to meet these requirements in conjunction with Infineon's software and development tools. As a leader in microcontrollers, Infineon will continue to expand the innovative capabilities of new products to meet the future needs of industrial-grade applications."

The new XMC7100 and XMC7200 products from Infineon's XMC7000 family of microcontrollers further enrich the XMC family of microcontrollers lineup for industrial control. The Infineon XMC7100 comes with 4MB of flash memory, 768 kB of RAM, and is available in 250 MHz single-core or dual-core versions in either a 100, 144 or 176 pin QFP package or a 272 pin BGA package. The Infineon XMC7200 comes with 8 MB of flash memory, 1 MB of RAM, and is available in 350 MHz single-core or dual-core versions in a 176-pin QFP package or a 272-pin BGA package.

Infineon XMC7000 series microcontrollers

The XMC7000 is Infineon's latest line of industrial microcontrollers. The series is equipped with peripherals such as CAN FD, TCPWM and Gigabit Ethernet, which can improve design flexibility and create added value for designers. The XMC7000 architecture uses robust, low-power 40 nm embedded flash technology to deliver leading-edge computing performance to meet the needs of high-end industrial applications.

The new line of microcontrollers includes single-core and dual-core products based on Arm® Cortex®-M7 processors and powered by Arm® Cortex®-M0+, enabling designers to optimize their end products for the changing, demanding work environment of industrial applications. With advanced peripherals and powerful security features, this series of microcontrollers can meet customers' requirements for high-quality microcontroller platforms. The XMC7000 series operates in a temperature range of -40°C to 125°C, and is capable of operating in harsh environments with a low power consumption mode, with current consumption of only 8 μA in operating condition. It is especially suitable for applications with high power consumption requirements. The XMC7000 has great flexibility and comes in four package and pin types, with a total of 17 product models to meet a variety of design requirements.

The XMC7000 Series microcontrollers are compatible with Infineon's latest ModusToolbox™ 3.0 development platform, giving developers a unique development experience to create a variety of use cases for industrial applications, robotics, electric vehicle charging and more. In addition to the XMC7000 series, the Infineon ModusToolbox 3.0 development platform is compatible with embedded applications using Infineon products such as PSoC™, AIROC™ Wi-Fi, AIROC Bluetooth®, and EZ-PD™ PMG1 microcontrollers.
